Prequel – The Eve of Reincarnation
The capital is Beijing.
In this noisy political and economic center, the bustling crowd and the high-rise buildings interpret the prosperity of a modern big city, but not everyone has their own piece of the world, Peking University, the dream of tens of millions of students.
Every morning, an out-of-place figure would appear on campus, not a student here, but an ordinary school worker—a librarian.
His name is Ling Xiaotian.
He was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage, and it is said that when the director found him, he had just been born in swaddling clothes, and it was definitely not more than a month old.
Why did he become an orphan, this is a question he has been thinking about day and night for more than 20 years, but unfortunately his ruthless parents did not leave him anything to prove his identity, and he became a complete orphan.
Among a group of friends who are connected by the same fate, he is undoubtedly the most favored by the dean, perhaps because among so many children, he is the only one who was picked up by the dean himself!
The dean's surname is Ling, so he gave him the name Ling Xiaotian, which means that when he grows up, he will have his own piece of sky, even if it is a small piece of sky, so he is called Xiaotian.
After being sensible, Ling Xiaotian prefers to call the dean grandpa, in the orphanage, he is the only one who has such rights.
In Ling Xiaotian's heart, his grandfather not only gave him a name, but more importantly, he gave him a new life, you must know that when he was picked up, it was the number nine cold days, if it wasn't for the fact that his grandfather desperately carried the almost frozen into his arms, he would have died more than twenty years ago.
Ling Xiaotian's current job was also arranged by his grandfather to an old friend, and this old friend of his was the president of Peking University.
Ling Xiaotian likes this job very much, although the salary is not objective, he is still very satisfied, and he feels very face-saving to be able to be with students from the best universities! The most important thing is that he has endless books to read, and in the sea of books, he slowly finds his lost self.
With a collection of 6 million books, it is the largest university in Asia.
In the past six years, Ling Xiaotian himself didn't know how many books he had read, and he couldn't even remember how many types he had covered, he only knew that he had read a lot.
The most interesting is undoubtedly history books, after Ling Xiaotian came to work here, the first book he read was "Twenty-five History".
Six years of cultivation in the library had filled Ling Xiaotian's body with the aura of a book, which was why he was incompatible with those college students.
Swimming in the sea of books, Ling Xiaotian felt that his life was very meaningful.
Until one day, a beautiful girl broke in, although it is not stunning, but the delicate atmosphere is so attention-grabbing, especially the kind of tranquility when reading a book, and the smile that unconsciously appears in the hearty place, which makes people feel like a spring breeze!
The girl also has a nice name, Li Qingyu, this is what Ling Xiaotian learned from her reading card that Li Qingyu will always have some admirers around her, they are not reading, reading books is just an excuse for them, an opportunity to get close to beautiful women.
Ling Xiaotian never deliberately approached Li Qingyu, maybe he read too many books, he felt that wonderful love always sprouted and grew up unconsciously. Beautiful flowers bloom and then sweet fruits.
In this way, Ling Xiaotian silently watched Li Qingyu for three years.
In the fourth year, Li Qingyu was not in a hurry to graduate like her classmates, and she didn't have time to come to the library to read, but she still maintained the habit of coming every day.
Ling Xiaotian, who was sorting out the books, saw a sentence on a world famous book, which should be an annotation, and Juanxiu's font reads - I'd rather have no bread than love!
The name of that book was Jane Eyre.
Although Ling Xiaotian just stared at Li Qingyu silently, it didn't mean that he didn't care, this "Jane Eyre" was the book she had been reading since these days, and this annotation should have been written down by her.
This is something that is not allowed.
Maybe it was a chance given to Ling Xiaotian by God, and he was lucky to seize it.
Ling Xiaotian, who was "looking for trouble" in the past, did not coldly reprimand Li Qingyu, but tactfully told her that this should not be the case.
Li Qingyu immediately admitted her mistake, saying that her feelings after reading it were written on the page without going through her brain.
With the first contact, the two will smile at each other when they meet again, and then say hello later.
Li Qingyu found that Ling Xiaotian's speech and demeanor were very different from his classmates, and he was so knowledgeable, and slowly, the relationship between the two underwent subtle changes, and the speed became faster and faster!
There was no moonlight, no romantic candlelit dinner, but the hearts of the two were united by this great art.
Ling Xiaotian felt that he was happy and lucky, to be favored by Li Qingyu, even if he let him die, it was only worth it!
The good times didn't last long, one day three months before Li Qingyu's graduation, Ling Xiaotian could see the uneasiness in her demeanor, and even read the irritability in her eyes, it was raining heavily outside the window.
Li Qingyu has never been like this, maybe she has been like an ordinary college student, worried about her future after graduation, but as long as she arrives at the library, she will always be so quiet, which is what makes her different.
Ling Xiaotian had a feeling that the mountain rain was coming, and this feeling made him feel that it was difficult to breathe.
"Xiaotian, forget me......" Li Qingyu's eyes didn't dare to look directly at Ling Xiaotian, and said with some self-deprecation: "Actually, I don't need to tell you this, we have never held hands, so how can we break up, it's just ...... I don't think it's fair to you if I don't say anything......"
Li Qingyu was telling the truth, Ling Xiaotian and her relationship sprouted in the library, and they really never held hands.
"Why?" Ling Xiaotian said these three words with difficulty.
Li Qingyu glanced at Ling Xiaotian with complicated eyes, then looked at the tall and bright window, and said, "Do you remember how we met, I wrote a sentence on the page of the book, 'I'd rather have no bread than love', this has always been my true thought!" However, I was wrong, I found that I was very wrong, I thought I could withstand the temptation of materialism, but when that person smashed money on me again and again, I found that I was also an ordinary person, and I couldn't withstand the temptation! ”
"That's the only reason?" When Ling Xiaotian spoke, his voice was already trembling, he didn't believe that Li Qingyu was also such a worldly girl!
Li Qingyu nodded, stretched out her right hand, with a delicate women's watch on her wrist, and said helplessly and self-deprecatingly: "A small watch will cost hundreds of thousands, hehe, if you stick to your love bread theory, I don't think I will have the opportunity to have it in my life, not to mention that this is just a drop in the bucket, so ......"
"I see......"
……
A very attentive young man held an umbrella, opened the passenger door of the car, and complained: "Xiaoyu, what do you have to say to that poor ghost, don't you have nothing to do with it, it's a waste of time!" ”
Li Qingyu didn't say anything and got into the car silently.
Ling Xiaotian stood at the window, that young man looked like a rich kid, full of famous brands, he had the capital to say that Ling Xiaotian was a poor ghost, not to mention anything else, just the latest Ferrari sports car cost more than four million RMB, what does Ling Xiaotian have, the remaining belongings from the past six years are not enough for everyone to spend money on a wheel.
"Maybe rich people are the best place for you!" Ling Xiaotian wanted to comfort himself with this sentence, but he couldn't.
On the roof of the library, Ling Xiaotian's clothes had already been soaked by heavy rain.
Stretching out his right hand, pointing high at the dim sky, Ling Xiaotian looked up to the sky and shouted: "Why is it so unfair to me, why am I just a person who has nothing, is it a deliberate arrangement by God?" I tell you, I despise you, you let me live but I have to suffer so much, if you have the ability, you will take my life, otherwise I will never be an honest man again, I will be a hooligan! Even if you want my life, I'm going to be a scoundrel, a big rascal......"
Click......
A thunderclap sounded, and the thunderbolt struck Ling Xiaotian's body, and his consciousness began to blur, thinking to himself if God heard his words and really wanted to take his life, anyway, he was already free from this world!
The lightning rod stood not far from Ling Xiaotian......
Then go for the hooligans!
"Xiaole knows that it is a bit old-fashioned to suffer a love change, then be struck by lightning, and then be reborn in another world, but Xiaole feels that rebirth is just a process, a simple but indispensable process, and the story in the future is more important, what do you say?"
